Momentum Architecture

Momentum Architecture is a Somerville design-and-build firm run by architect Charlie Dumond — the kind of outfit homeowners hire to plan a renovation or addition and then manage the permitting and construction that follows. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is registry-verified active, and Houzz lists a Registered Architect of Massachusetts credential for the firm. Four Google reviews, from 2023 to 2026, all rate the firm five stars. In a 2026 review, a homeowner called their renovation "amazing," saying a complex project was carried out on schedule with expert planning and coordination. A 2025 review credited Charles with designing a second-floor addition and guiding the homeowners through the permitting process and finding a contractor for the build. In a 2023 review, a client praised Charlie Dumond's sense of design, calling him reliable and easy to work with. A 2026 review simply says "Good service." Houzz lists the firm's services as spanning architectural design, home additions, kitchen design and remodeling, and carpentry, cabinetry, and millwork, with four projects shown there. It's a strong call for a renovation or addition that needs both design and project management, from a first sketch through permitting and construction oversight.
